As 2020 draws to a close a year of extreme changes and challenges it is with incredible appreciation that we reflect on the collective impact of our movement across the country.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has altered our lives dramatically, it has also made clear just how vital trails are to people and places serving as important space for health and wellness and providing safe outdoor access for millions of people.
This remarkable impact would not have been possible without the time, dedication and ingenuity of America’s trail builders and advocates, whose efforts brought so much impact to so many people.
